Took a couple of hours to find a rare wood wasp as a secondary pet, and another hour of resetting the battle, but I now have the gorgeous Dark variant of the Wood Wasp :D Very happy with the result, especially since I had the apocalypse going from the wood wasp's critter companion... *wipes brow*

@Zhevrakeeper Yes! It is indeed still possible to get the purple/green skin. I just caught one as a secondary near Broken Horn Village (north Gorgrond) a few minutes ago. Spent almost an hour resetting the fight!

Anyone know if we can still get the alt skin on this one? Have forfeited and reset battles with these as secondaries around 400 times now and still no skin. I accept bad luck in RNG is just bad luck but i'm keen to know if it's more than just bad luck (for a 1 in 99 chance it seems a little unlikely it wouldn't have showed up in battle by now.)

The pet data in the WoW client indicates that the ratio of regular green to green-black Wood Wasps is 99 to 1! So even if you find this pet as a secondary in battle, it may take many battle resets before the black colour shows up.

There are several other Draenor pets where the ratio of colours is 9:1 (such as the Icespine Hatchling where the icy blue is rarer than the darker blue), which makes me wonder if this extra rare one was intentional or a slip of the key by someone at Blizzard.

I caught one with a different skin. It is blackish-green with a purple underbelly and dark green wings. It seems to be a very rare skin. It is the same skin used by the 'Stingtail Worker' wasps in Spires of Arak.
